[SQUIRMS IN HIS SEAT]

Maybe not directly. But every possible follow up question would.

[featherduster]

[ Does he do the right thing and stop asking



NO, OBVIOUSLY ]

What if you just do a hand signal or something when a question's too apocalyptic to answer?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[waves a hand]

It's fine if I just tell you directly that I can't say something. The world isn't shaking right now, see?

[gestures around them as if to confirm the world is indeed not shaking]

Pretty much everything I just told you shouldn't be shared with anyone from my world. The more people that know, the more the Transcendentals can interfere with the world. Which, as we've established, is bad. I was worried about it when I first got here, but it seems like talking about everything with people from other universes while in another world doesn't trigger anything.

[featherduster]

[ Sir this is a dream ]

Then I can ask: what is it you need to do?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[furtively looks up at the sky like he expects the heavens to be torn asunder if he says too much,,,]

I...I'm helping the system administrators to save my world. To that end, I...just have to...collect...some people.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ idk man seems fine ]

Collect... people.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[it seems fine but he is still incredibly tense]

Yup! It's pretty easy, right? Making friends isn't a bad thing, and I've got five whole years to do it.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ There's no fucking way it's just "making friends" dude ]

And they're critical to what you need to do?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[wow what if friendship is magic though?? what if friendship saves the world]

They are. But as far as I'm aware they don't need to do anything.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ If that were true then Lethe would be loudly talking about it all the time.

Anyway he just looks vaguely -- uncomfortable? Disquieted, maybe. ]

I see.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[sinks into the couch cushions when there are no further questions, the faint air of embarrassment hanging over him at giving such a lame explanation]

It's easy, see? But it's not something anyone here can help with, so I just have to pick up where I left off when I get back home.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Something tells me it's not nearly as easy as you make it out to be.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

...It really is that easy. "Please gather fifty S-Class Hunters."

I assume there's a catch. I just don't know what it is yet.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ FIFTY?????? ]

Didn't you say S-Classes are the rarest kind?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Sure, but there are still way more than fifty in the world. There are billions of people on Earth. And the kids--the monsters count as long as they're S-Class too.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Lethe...

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

What?

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ Ugh ]

You can be all flippant and not-worried all you want, I'll worry for you.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

There's nothing to be worried about. I have a plan. You should be focusing on your sisters before anything else.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

I can manage both.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Oh? Can you? What's your plan then?

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Be more specific.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

...Sentiment is fine. But for problems as big as this, if you don't have some kind of concrete plan to solve it, then saying "I'm worried" won't change anything. I still have to do what I have to do. Without any help.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ HUFFS ]

Well I just found out about all this!

The first step is getting to your world at all. The second step is helping to round up these S-classes you need. I could probably figure out a way to detect them if I met a few.
